New Storage for my Everyday Makeup Essentials

Early mornings for me means rummaging through my makeup bag, half asleep looking for something to make me look presentable. Not being able to locate certain products results in me dumping the entire contents of  my makeup bag everywhere. When I was in Tesco the other say I saw this office organiser for pens and the like, but immediately I had another idea for this. I emptied out my makeup bag when I got home, and started arranging all my products that I've been using quite a bit recently. My foundations, powders and blushes can change from time to time. At the moment I'm using Rimmel's Wake Me Up foundation, to be honest I can't say that it's blown me away. I've read alot of posts were it's been described as having too much glitter in it. I work in a clothes shop under artificial lighting on a daily basis and I can't say I resemble a disco ball when I use this. When I finished organising all my products this was the result.

It's a perfect everyday makeup organiser that everything fits into except my eyeshadows which is no big deal. The thing I like most about this is that it rotates so I can spin it around to find products I want to use. I don't think it contains enough makeup to warrant doing this all the time but it's fun! I certainly think this is a quick and easy way to store my everyday essentials. At only €4.90, it was worth every penny. I'm in the process of  sorting out the mess that is my room, I got some much needed storage bits recently so I'm hoping to get everything out of the way over the weekend. If these are posts you like to see, I'll definitely pop some more up when I finish my room.

How do you store your everyday makeup??

    1. Aww thanks Carrie that's so nice, I'm glad you like it!!! Wow I love the Real Technique brushes so much. I use these three all the time, the buffing brush was in a set and both the powder and blush brush are individual ones. If you would like to see a review post I'll try to get one up soon:):) I haven't tried the eye brush set yet though so i can't really give my opinion on those xxx
